The subject content is your call, however the "COLOUR RED" is the mandatory aspect. :-) Now CREW let your imagination run wild! YOUR SUBMISION IS DUE 22-05-2017 And as long as I'm still vertical & breathing? :-) Heck I will be! I will endeavour to do critiques and pick a winner for the most imaginative! :-) cheers, Dr. Ted O.C. -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Howard L Ritter Jr Sent: May-15-17 6:41 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] AN UPDATER FOR ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! A photo a week? I like it! Can you start with your very first one, from 66 years ago? And we should all post our favorite photos OF you, Dr Ted! In any case, take strength from the fact that your sharp mind and wit are kicking all the ass your body can?t. It?s good to hear that you?re getting the assistance you need to make your life sail on as smoothly as possible. Remember that all of the friends, acquaintances, and admirers you?ve gained on the LUG, and who are proud to call themselves that, are with you in word and spirit, pulling for you. Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rave, rave about the capture of the light. (As I imagine Dylan Thomas might have written if he?d been talking about you!) We love you, Dr Ted!
